Eagle Plains and Sun Summit make greenfields discovery at Orbit, BC
CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 14, 2026 / Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:EPL)(OTCQB:EGPLF) ("EPL" or "Eagle Plains") is pleased to announce results from a 2025 reconnaissance field program at the newly acquired, 6595 ha Orbit Project, located in the northern Toodoggone District of BC. Geologic observations from a single day of field work, with a 5-person crew, resulted in 39 rocks samples and the discovery of gold, copper, and silver mineralization associated with a remote sensing anomaly. Particularly strong alteration and mineralization was noted over a distance of 300m in the Calypso Zone.
The 2025 field program was jointly funded by Sun Summit Minerals Corp. ("Sun Summit") and conducted by TerraLogic Exploration Inc. ("Terralogic") of Cranbrook, BC under the direction of Jarrod Brown, P.Geo. Sample Highlights About the Orbit Project The core area that makes up the Orbit Property was identified through the advanced interpretation of remote sensing data originally collected to evaluate the company's Theory Project , located 14 kms to the west and currently under option to Sun Summit. Deliverables provided by EarthDaily Analytics, identified a large area to the east of the Theory Project with hydrothermal alteration likely associated with minerals such as white mica, sericite and illite, typical indicators of porphyry mineralization.
The 2025 program prospected less than 5% of the anomaly area. Several samples have been sent for petrographic analysis to Precision Petrographics of Langley, BC, with results pending. Highlights Strategic, Low-Cost Acquisition: Mineral rights were acquired by staking through Mineral Titles Online and issued under the new BC Mineral Claims Consultation Framework (MCCF).
The Orbit acquisition makes Eagle Plains a significant rights holder in the Toodoggone District with combined ownership and Net Smelter Royalty (NSR)
